Wexford is a town located in County Wexford, Ireland. It has a rich history dating back many centuries. Here is an overview of the history of Wexford:

Early History: The area around Wexford has evidence of human settlement dating back to prehistoric times. The region was inhabited by Celtic tribes, and later came under the influence of the Vikings in the 9th century. The Vikings established a settlement known as Veisafjǫrðr, from which the name "Wexford" is derived.
